Amazon has become a middleman for Alibaba at this point. If I don’t mind waiting for a part I’ll just order it straight from Aliexpress or a component seller.

It seems like the interface took a nose dive too. It’s a lot more sluggish and harder to find new things to watch.

If you work in audio, media, want to come across as fancy or want something with a dash of Linux functionality then a Mac is a good option. Otherwise, stick with a PC or a Linux compy.

Find out which function key you need to press to open the BIOS- BIOS is the program that boots up your computer and is stored in its own chip on the motherboard. Restart your computer and press the right function key once you see the Dell/Operating system logo, it should take you to the BIOS settings menu where you can remove the password. If you can’t find the right function key keep restarting and pressing f1-f10 until you get to the bios settings menu. Computers used to prompt you with the function keys for the bios settings when you booted up but I haven’t seen that for a while.

There’s a closer knit community than Reddit due to the smaller size, and advertisements and paid agenda posts are few and far between. We have momentum and lot of potential- as long as Reddit keeps up the downward spiral, people will join lemmy and tell others about it. If you want to increase activity on lemmy, it starts with you! Remember to upvote and comment, and post something you found that was interesting, even if it’s to a community you don’t usually post to.

Mozilla isn’t some paragon of free open source non-profit charity like everyone is claiming, they need to make a profit just like everyone else to keep themselves up there as a competitor to Google. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mozilla_Corporation

Currently use Firefox and Brave for different applications but I am considering switching to Vivaldi, I definitely want to do more research on all of them though.

Classic investment scam- offer a valueless item at a price, get everyone hyped up about the new item which is supposed to gain value, get people to invest, let the insiders in the company know so they can sell off, then get rid of it altogether. I hope they get prosecuted for this.

If I were you, I would take this to a professional- this is a quick fix if you have the right equipment and know how to do it safely. If that is plastic surrounding the cup, definitely refrain from soldering it yourself. If you want to go ahead and do it yourself, my best advice would be to research the charger- you will be less likely to damage it when you solder. See if you can find schematics, materials used, temperature ratings etc. Don’t solder electronics with an iron without temperature control. As others said here, use flux!!! It’s crucial for making a safe connection- figure out if you’re using leaded or lead free solder and buy a syringe of the appropriate flux for it. Apply the flux to the joint and melt it with your iron. Melt some solder into the cup, and then heat the solder while lowering the wire in. The less time you have the iron in contact, the better your chances are, but make sure not to apply too little heat. Use 90% rubbing alcohol and a brush to clean the joint after.
